Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5 57e96b2d81 Add a PSP Firmware screen under Settings > Tools
Shows what's actually in PSP/NAND - nothing, a fonts-only partial install, or
a full firmware with its version, build date and region - read from
flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt, which is present both in a PSAR-unpacked install
and a NAND dumped off hardware.

Also offers to install an updater, erase the NAND, and launch the XMB, the
last one gated on FirmwareVersionSupportsVSH() since the module patches that
get vshmain.prx running are tied to 6.61's offsets.

Installing a firmware now erases flash0/flash1/ipl first - two firmwares can't
be merged, a file the new one doesn't have would linger and still get loaded.

================================================================

NOTE: These are legacy instructions for building using ndk-build.

We mostly only use this on CI because it's faster than gradle.
There might also be some holdouts around still using eclipse.

================================================================

First, build the C++ static library:

> cd android
> ./ab.sh
Or
> ./ab.cmd

as appropriate.

Start Eclipse, import the android directory as an existing project
You need to also load the "native" project into your eclipse workspace
Build and run. 

If you modify the C++ code, you need to rebuild the static library, of
course. To get Eclipse to understand that you have in fact changed something
if you haven't also changed any Java code, just add a space character to 
PPSSPPActivity.java, or right click the project and choose Refresh, and then
relaunch the app on the device.

A real Android device is strongly recommended for testing. Don't trust
the emulator.
